They don't believe he requires capital in Greece (8)

I believe the answer is:

heathens

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'they don't believe' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'he requires capital in greece' is the wordplay.
'requires' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'capital in greece' becomes 'athens' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'he'+'athens'='HEATHENS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for heathens that I've seen before include "Those who do not believe in the main religions" , "They don't believe in any of the major religions" , "pagans" , "Athens he searched for non-believers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
